Woohoo
I'll respect joubert when he makes the right decision and hangs up his whistle.
Very inconsistent referee, turns against one side early every match
Can't help but feel this will be another case of close but no cigar. I really hope I am wrong.
Double movement.
Hmmm, realtime I wouldn't have said so..... but in slowmo it looks different. The arm just stretched out but he had a little wriggle first.
It's not league
You are allowed to place the ball it was not a double movement
Oh Scotland!
Omg again!
Holy thistles batman
Didn't see that in the script
I'm not convinced he didn't wriggle before placing it.
But........
Who cares now?
Holy. Shit.
We'll played for playing the rain card at this time in the game!
This is going to be a very long 2 minutes...
COME ON SCOTLAND!!!!
Dammit! ... by 1 point! Noooo ...
Jinxed it....
Bastard.
That was awful, heartbreaking
What a shame. Amazing effort by the Scots.
Heart breaking. Bravo, Scotland!
Damn! Damn! Damn!
Where is the spirit of Freeddommmm?
What happened to protesting the kicker? Very late hit from Mitchell
One minute later penalty to aus and they win
Never cheered more for Scotland and feel they've been robbed here
Unbelievable 🙁
Typical Scotland. You start to believe the impossible might happen but we have seen it so many times before. Even the dog is upset.
What a wonderful game of rugby. Plus, it wouldnt be Scotland without a hard luck story.
Should have asked......
Seems I missed another cracking game, damn you night shifts.
Looked like a late hit on Hogg. Penalty there and the game would have been over.
The referee should never take charge of another game at that level. But let's not take that away from a tremendous performance by Scotland.
I know it's "only" sport but I'm really rather disconsolate here. Extraordinary stuff.
Hats off to the Scotland team - what a collective effort.
Plus, it wouldnt be Scotland without a hard luck story.
It would be nice, just for once, to get the break and not have the hard luck story 🙁
I'll admit that my heart was thinking that if we could holw on with this one, we are perfectly capable of beating Argentina.... I'm sad now.
Late hit on Hogg plus that last penalty wasn't a penalty!
Scotland were cheated out of that.
After everything that has happened this World Cup that has seriously knocked me, the elation to complete sorrow in a few minutes at the end brought back horrible memories of Wales 4 years ago. Fully backing Argentina now to go all way.
Hats off to Scotland, nobody I guess was expecting that. The surprise of the world cup goes on and the quality of the games keeps getting better. At least rugby is the winner out of all this no matter how we all feel.
Still "dislike" Craig Joubert quite a lot
It's very sad that after a performance like that much of the talk is about the referee. He shouldn't get near another game at this or any other world cup.
Best game I've seen in a while, spoilt by some questionable decisions (both ways). Scotland stepped up in a way that neither England or Wales could, and to be honest shouldn't have lost. That was never a yellow card (and the subsequent try was scored by the opposing winger, so would probably have been tackled in a 1 on 1), and the final penalty... Not even questionable. Should have gone to the TMO, who would (should) have seen it came off an Aussie player last...

I assume the late hit on Hogg was shown on the big screen in the stadium? Thought the ref might even have gone back for that.
It's a shame that all we're talking about is the ref, after what really was a quality game.
😆
proud Englishman here but was cheering you on all the way and absolutely gutted for Scotland. That really was the pits at the end.
It is a shame because there have been some very good performances by the refs throughout the tournament until today.
Great game today, both sides played positive rugby
I am so conflicted. Felt the team did brilliantly and hate complaining about the ref but he is just a knob. So many poor decisions both ways, but the worst game changing ones against Scotland.
As Mcgeeghan said, would those calls been made against NZ?
oh and who though Michael Cheika's voice was going to sound like that?
Gutted for Scotland. Nothing else to add - but a restart with 30 seconds to go...surely you just pop the ball forward to required distance and compete for it. Once it went to Australian hands it was game over.
Well done and hard luck Scotland. You came closest which was what nobody expected.
Another depressing day for NH rugby.
